2018 CALL FOR CODEGLOBAL CHALLENGE
At the core of the initiative is the Call for Code Global Challenge, a 4-month long global competition where teams comprised of developers, human rights experts and other specialists develop solutions to solve for some of the world’s toughest challenges. The 2018 Call for Code Global Challenge called on developers around the world to create solutions to address the critical need for better natural disaster preparation and relief efforts.
In its inaugural year over 100,000 developers and data scientists from 156 nations participated in the Call for Code Challenge, creating more than 2,500 applications.

2018 CALL FOR CODEGLOBAL PRIZE WINNER:
PROJECT OWL
PROJECT OWL
The Call for Code Global Challenge winning team takes home the Call for Code Global Prize, receives $200,000 at the annual Call for Code Global Prize event and perhaps more importantly has the opportunity to partner with IBM to develop and deploy their solution around the world. The 2018 Call for Code Global Prize was presented to Project OWL (Bryan Knouse, Magus Pereira, Nicholas Feuer, Charlie Evans and Taraqur Rahman) at the Call for Code Global Prize Celebration in October 2018 at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco.
Project OWL created an innovative software/hardware solution that includes an offline communication infrastructure with a network of quickly deployed hotspots, providing first responders with vital information from people in need and a simple experience for managing all aspects of disaster response. Civilians on the mobile ad-hoc “clusterduck” network, an offline communications infrastructure created by physical, Wi-Fi-enabled devices dispersed in clusters, can also send information about a victim’s situation, location, and needs.
Within five months of winning The Call for Code Global Prize, Project OWL was partnering with IBM to test and deploy their solution in Puerto Rico and Houston, TX.
